Hail Jan-I!
You no see how men and people,
A fight against I and I Rasta.
Yes Qulah, who a dem people I and I call wah,
Ignoble character, Selassie I!

Dem a fight dem a fight with all their might,
Implementing programmes of brutality.
Fighting against morality,
Dem a fight, dem a fight with all their might,
Trying to establish their society.
But like targets, they will be cut down,
Like soldiers, Rasta will be marching.
Fighting their white indiscipline,
And trampling down the dragon,
Ignoble characters, fighting Jah Jah children.
Ignoble characters, fighting Jah Jah children.

Long ago they invaded our land,
Claiming that they didn't know the Almighty God.
The missionaries start spreading false doctrines,
Teaching the youth about white conceptions.
But like sand upon the wind they will be gone,
Like soldiers, Rasta will be marching.
Fighting their white conceptions,
And trampling down the dragon.
The battlefield is getting interesting,
'Cause everyman's back against the wall.
Not a place to go not a grain of corn, oh yea.
Ignoble characters, fighting Jah Jah children.
Ignoble characters, fighting Jah Jah children.
